Im about to upgrade to a decent mountain bike, ive seen an advertisement of a Boardman Team FS, 2011/2012 Model, in very good condition.. for £600?

I thought this was a very good deal, or is there better bikes out there for cheaper prices?
At the moment I have this very poor GT hardtail, ive started to go out more and more so thought id treat myself to a better bike. £600 is pretty much my budget, and I really really fancy a full suspension!

Any input would be great!

Thanks :roll:

    Unless it is truly mint, that is overpriced, about £350-400 is more like it.

    I'm a bit of a serial eBay trawler and unfortunately £500+ is what you'll find them for.

    Not a bad bike at that price I don't think.

    Yes, keep an eye on ebay. There's almost always at least one or two up for grabs.

    Of the few I've seen sell, none have fetched less than £600.
